https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIigupwUxWg

[00:01] Praise God.
[00:04] Pastor Jesse here of a living God service.
[00:08] Today is a special Bible study um because we are operating out of our normal schedule and so uh because we're in a transition time.
[00:18] Amen.
[00:21] And so I'm Pastor Jesse of the Living God Service, a non501c3 independent missionary ministry.
[00:27] Amen.
[00:30] You say [laughter] a miss a ministry that I started.
[00:33] Amen.
[00:36] My wife and I, we founded it uh all by our by ourselves after um years of spiritual abuse.
[00:45] Amen.
[00:45] In a high control group uh where I learned theology, studied theology.
[00:54] Amen.
[00:54] And so by God's grace, uh I know enough.
[00:57] I know what I'm called to do.
[01:00] And God has called me uh to launch out and start our own
[01:02] Ministry.
[01:05] God specifically told my wife and I, "Start it without them."
[01:09] Amen.
[01:09] He said, "Just start it without them."
[01:12] Amen.
[01:14] That's what, that's what uh God's voice to us was.
[01:18] And so we are continuing on in the book of Romans and its emphasis on the righteousness of God expressed as love.
[01:27] Amen.
[01:32] Or culminating as love in our lives.
[01:35] Amen.
[01:35] But we express it through love.
[01:38] Amen.
[01:38] The righteousness is the Holy Ghost that dwells in us.
[01:44] Righteousness is God and our righteousness is filthy rags.
[01:47] Our righteousness hurts people.
[01:50] But when God dwells in us and empowers us through his grace and uh to perform righteousness, that righteousness on the outward is expressed as love.
[02:01] We call that love.
[02:04] The Bible, the biblical definition is love.
[02:07] Amen.
[02:09] And so that is not performance-based religion.
[02:12] Amen.
[02:16] But you do perform.
[02:16] You serve God.
[02:19] Serving God is a service.
[02:22] Serving others is a service.
[02:22] It's an active work.
[02:25] The Bible calls it works and labors of love.
[02:29] Say amen.
[02:29] So we're not, you know, passive um Calvinist.
[02:34] Once saved always saved.
[02:38] Um, so you amen.
[02:38] Amen.
[02:42] We have to serve God.
[02:42] We want to serve God.
[02:44] Anyone who loves God and is filled with the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit drives you to serve God.
[02:49] He changes your desires.
[02:52] When you used to be fired up about sin and lust and pleasures of the flesh, now you're fired up about the things of the spirit.
[03:00] Reading your Bible, you're like driven.
[03:02] I want to know what God is saying here.
[03:05] I want to know what the scripture means.
[03:08] I, I, I am not settled.
[03:08] I cannot rest until I know.
[03:13] What, what God, what Paul meant here, or what the, what God is saying through the scriptures here and this and this.
[03:21] How does this in the Old Testament apply, apply to us in the New Testament?
[03:26] Amen.
[03:29] And the Holy Spirit will disturb you or unsettle you until you are driven to your Bible.
[03:38] Amen.
[03:38] God has ways to pressure us.
[03:42] Amen.
[03:42] Or compel us to do spiritual things.
[03:48] We have, when you get filled with the Holy Spirit, you have a supernatural hunger for the things of God.
[03:53] One, studying the word of God.
[03:56] Two, witnessing to others.
[03:56] Three, prayer.
[04:00] Connecting with God.
[04:03] Amen.
[04:03] Getting inspiration and fellowship with God in prayer and
[04:08] Interceding for others in prayer.
[04:11] And then last going out and doing good works.
[04:17] You have a desire to do some type of ministry.
[04:23] God has um implanted in you and inspires you or drives you by your desire where you can't help it.
[04:31] Even the Apostle Paul, he said um a dispensation is committed to me uh if I do not preach the gospel.
[04:41] Woe is added unto me.
[04:44] Amen.
[04:44] Woe is added unto me if I do not preach the gospel.
[04:47] It's like the same thing as Jeremiah.
[04:51] The word he the when Jeremiah said, "I will no longer speak the word of God."
[04:56] It was like a fire shut up in his bones.
[04:59] Now, everyone who has the Holy Spirit baptism, they understand this when you try to like if I was to just try to explain it intellectually, you know, one step, two
[05:11] Step, three step, this is what the word of God is.
[05:13] And you know, uh, rationally reason it out.
[05:17] Um, it it it could just sound like, you know, the Holy Spirit is nothing more than, uh, a personification of grace and that Jesus, you know, is nothing more than a personification of wisdom or salvation, a different No,
[05:37] Jesus is God.
[05:40] The Holy Spirit is God.
[05:40] Amen.
[05:46] After Jesus came and died and rose again, he poured out his spirit and gave us the spirit.
[05:51] And you today when you get baptized by the Holy Spirit, you will know the you cannot um um as I I was explaining to um a friend of mine uh just the other day, uh it all boils down like uh you can know theology, you
[06:12] Can have degrees in theology, you can have degrees in divinity, you can um So you can be highly religious, highly moral and you when you don't have the Holy Spirit uh all your religion is or all you can do is teach dogma.
[06:33] Dogma mean this for that.
[06:37] Rules and regulations and hierarchies, uh, ranks in religion and levels in religion andnosticism, you know, two-tier religion where there's a teaching class or a the teaching class would be a speaking class of people, classification of people.
[06:58] Uh and um two tier meaning two levels or or so or multiple levels of spirituality or religion to where uh usually um there's a speaking class and a listening class.
[07:14] And the listening class is not allowed to teach and uh they have to you know um oh you know uh pastor they have to call pastor and say oh you know pastor I was actually you know trying to witness to somebody and you know um I felt like I started to teach him.
[07:34] I don't know if I got out of line or anything but you know uh pastor was that wrong?
[07:41] Oh yes sir, that was wrong.
[07:43] You if you felt like you were teaching that's the Holy Spirit telling you that uh you you uh you crossed a line you shouldn't do that.
[07:49] No, that's garbage.
[07:52] The Holy Spirit was inspiring you and moving you and you were using the word of God.
[07:56] You were explaining through your experience, amen, and uh uh battles and trials that you overcome.
[08:05] And God is calling you to be a preacher and he's put this uh purpose and this word of knowledge and wisdom inside of you so that you can speak it by faith.
[08:13] You can boldly speak it by
[08:16] Faith. Okay? Now, amen.
[08:19] Other churches in different denominations can do whatever they want.
[08:23] And if they want to teach these hierarchies and things, they can do that.
[08:28] And if you want to do, if you want to go to those churches, you can go to those churches.
[08:30] Amen.
[08:34] But here, I preach the living God.
[08:37] Amen.
[08:37] A living God that you can interact with, you can talk to, he talks to you.
[08:42] Amen.
[08:42] You can get answers from.
[08:46] And um it's an unveiled religion.
[08:50] What do you mean by unveiled?
[08:50] Well, when Jesus died and rose again, the first thing that um they they seen before he rose was that the veil was torn in two.
[09:03] The veil blocked the holies of holies.
[09:08] Only one man once a year was allowed to walk into the holies of holies and get and really become close and intimate with God and have the full.
[09:19] Revelation of God.
[09:19] Amen.
[09:19] Amen.
[09:22] It wasn't the full revelation cuz Jesus gave us the full revelation.
[09:27] But at the time, that was the closest you were going to get.
[09:33] And it was only for one man at one time.
[09:37] And and so that makes everybody that should make you jealous.
[09:38] That should make you um envious like I want to be close to God like that.
[09:46] I want to have a relationship with God like that.
[09:49] I want to get close to God and speak to God and I want to hear from God myself.
[09:55] Thank God in the New Testament that that's exactly what Jesus Christ gave to us.
[10:00] That's the gift of God.
[10:04] Amen.
[10:04] That is the Holy Ghost indwelling.
[10:08] The veil has been done away with.
[10:11] It's been torn away.
[10:15] It's it's been torn down.
[10:15] You have the power by the blood of Jesus Christ.
[10:19] In his sacrifice on the cross for your in my sin that you can enter in to the holiest of holies.
[10:26] Amen.
[10:28] And when you walk in there, um, I was taught this in Bible college.
[10:32] It, and it, it does help in prayer.
[10:35] You can say, "Father, I come to you right now in the name of Jesus.
[10:41] I come to you and I enter into the holiest of holies, but not without blood.
[10:48] Amen.
[10:48] But by the precious blood of your son, the lamb of God, Jesus Christ, who was slain for my sins, by that blood, I enter into the holiest of holies right now, Lord, that I may fellowship with you.
[11:03] I need mercy.
[11:05] I need grace.
[11:07] I'm here, Lord.
[11:08] I want to commune with you.
[11:10] Please come and commune with me.
[11:13] And his spirit comes down.
[11:15] I feel God's presence.
[11:18] I'm in God's presence right now.
[11:18] Amen.
[11:29] Oh, glory, glory, glory.
[11:29] Hallelujah.
[11:32] We need to pray for this Bible study anyways.
[11:36] So, since I feel the presence of God so strong and I'm in his presence right now, I'm going to go ahead and pray.
[11:45] Father, I love you.
[11:45] We love you.
[11:45] We praise you.
[11:45] We worship you.
[11:48] We thank you for this grace and this glory that you have given us so that we could enter into the holiest of holies and have a personal relationship with you.
[11:59] There's no mediator father between us now except for you except for Jesus Christ your son.
[12:07] We have been given access an introduction into a new relationship where we may boldly come unto the throne of grace.
[12:20] Amen.
[12:20] In a time of need and ask for help.
[12:24] Amen.
[12:24] Cuz go he can be touched by the feeling of our infirmity because he was tempted in all points.
[12:30] Such as we yet without sin.
[12:33] Amen.
[12:33] He never sinned.
[12:36] That's why he was able to do this for us.
[12:38] And we're so thankful.
[12:38] Hallelujah.
[12:41] We praise you for this glory, this weight of glory as I've been preaching on Sunday.
[12:47] Hallelujah.
[12:47] And as Romans chapter 5 talks about, we hope for it and we go through tribulation and we exalt our glory in this thing and rejoice and become happy in the glory of God as he gets all the glory working through us and we know that we're overcoming challenges, overcoming difficult situations.
[13:12] We're testing and proving the things of God and our character is becoming stronger and more Christlike and our faith is becoming more proven.
[13:23] Hallelujah.
[13:23] Hallelujah.
[13:26] Like in Romans chapter 12, we prove what is a holy and acceptable the perfect will of God.
[13:29] This is the
[13:32] Reason why we're doing it.
[13:35] We want to do the will of God.
[13:37] And as Philippians chapter 1 says, uh, that he works in us to, uh, both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
[13:50] Hallelujah.
[13:50] We're doing of God's good pleasure.
[13:52] We're pleasing him.
[13:54] And this is our faith and our works together because in Hebrews, it says in chapter 11 and verse 6, it is impossible to please God without faith.
[14:07] Uh, but our faith, uh, gets us justified and we press on to sanctification, to hope of the glory of the prize of the, of the, of God in Christ Jesus.
[14:20] Amen.
[14:20] Hallelujah.
[14:23] We press on toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
[14:29] We might know him and fellowship with him and even attain unto
[14:33] His resurrection.
[14:35] Hallelujah.
[14:35] We want to be close.
[14:41] I pray, Father, give me utterance and move upon my heart and help me to speak boldly the gospel and make known the mysteries of the gospel as I ought that Lord that all men, there is no such thing as common man.
[14:56] There is no such thing as just ordinary man where everybody's purpose and chosen and a specifically birthed into this world for a calling and a purpose of God.
[15:09] And Lord, I pray that you would open their eyes and open their hearts that they may know.
[15:17] Lord, put the wisdom in their heart that they may know and start to Lord, bring forth the love of God into this world.
[15:27] Amen.
[15:27] Lord, enter all of them in Jesus' name.
[15:31] Lord, give me the utterance, Lord, that
[15:33] They may understand and become spiritually strong and edified, built up and grounded, settled, unmovable in the mighty name of Jesus.
[15:47] Lord, help let them all receive kingdom power in Jesus mighty name we pray all these things.
[15:54] Amen.
[15:55] Praise God.
[15:59] Oh, sorry.
[16:00] I forgot to start my timer, but praise God.
[16:03] Oh, praise God.
[16:07] Okay, so all right, we left off last week talking about the Occupy deception.
[16:20] All right, we are talking about the gathering.
[16:24] Um, the reconstructionist.
[16:28] All right.
[16:31] The reconstructionists are the ones who after the reformation.
[16:36] The reformation was uh
[16:40] I don't have the years for you right now, but we know during Martin Luther's time uh and this and that that uh that's the reformation.
[16:50] Well, the reformationists, they did a good job or uh different things at developing Protestant um theologies.
[17:00] Okay.
[17:00] Well, the reconstructionists later on um wanted to um develop the the uh Protestant theology to another level.
[17:12] Okay.
[17:12] Um in a different way.
[17:14] And so in the 1960s and 1970s they uh this thing was called the gathering and some famous theologians uh RJ Rush Dumi uh he gathered a bunch of different theologians and leaders and they developed um
[17:37] Dominion theology and then this was a bad thing not a good thing.
[17:41] All right.
[17:41] And so, uh, I'm not going to retach what I taught last week, but, uh, Dominion movement is based, uh, bases much of its theology on the King James version of Luke 19 and verse 13.
[18:00] It says, where Jesus says, occupy till I come.
[18:04] Dominion teachers twisted occupy to mean take over, conquer or exercise authority.
[18:12] But in the original Greek, the word is pragmata tomi.
[18:21] It is a business term.
[18:24] It means to do business to to stay busy trading.
[18:31] Amen.
[18:31] And the type of trading that we're doing is witnessing to other souls about
[18:37] Jesus Christ.
[18:41] We're trying to convince people to buy the truth.
[18:44] Now, not buy the truth monetarily, but when you purchase it to your soul in belief, okay?
[18:56] Because it's free.
[18:56] The gospel is free as I'm teaching this Bible study.
[19:02] This, it's free, right?
[19:02] Well, you know, we ask for offering.
[19:06] You can, if you're watching this on YouTube, you'll see right about [laughter] right here there will be a little blue bar that has our GoFundMe because we are a non-503 C3 nonprofit.
[19:26] And we are an independent ministry.
[19:30] And so we're basically a house church, but missionary-minded house church.
[19:36] Amen.
[19:36] So what do you...
[19:40] Believe?
[19:42] We we believe in the international holiness Pentecostal movement or church.
[19:58] So I used to be part of a holiness church.
[20:00] Amen.
[20:00] It was very controlling.
[20:03] Not all holiness churches are controlling.
[20:06] We are holiness but without the dress code.
[20:09] Okay.
[20:09] We are holiness but we believe women can preach.
[20:14] Even the church of the Nazarene who had started back in 1908.
[20:18] They uh knew that God had called women to both preach and teach also.
[20:24] All right?
[20:25] And so we're not going to get into all that.
[20:29] Uh but right now because I'm trying to move on uh and gain some ground in this Bible study.
[20:35] Um and so um we're part we believe in the holiness movement.
[20:39] We believe in the the
[20:42] doctrine of the pen of Pentecostal. We
[20:44] believe in the doctrine of trinity.
[20:47] Amen. And we are charismatic. Okay. Not
[20:51] like you know the charis uh charismatic.
[20:55] All right. is you know the term means
[20:57] that you believe in the gifts and the
[21:00] power of God has never ceased. All
[21:04] right. Also known as a continuationist.
[21:07] We are continuationists. We believe that
[21:09] the Holy Spirit still operates through
[21:11] us today. Okay. I'm not but I would I
[21:15] would actually almost I 99%
[21:18] agree with the church of the Nazarene
[21:22] but they don't believe in the gifts of
[21:24] speaking in tongues. Okay. But I do
[21:26] believe in the gifts of speaking in
[21:28] tongues as you heard me earlier. Amen.
[21:30] Oh, you need to translate what you said.
[21:32] No, that was a sign. Amen. That is the
[21:36] inward witness. That is my prayer
[21:38] language. that was not a um a
[21:42] ministerial teaching language. Okay.
[21:44] There is ministerial gifts of speaking
[21:47] in tonesues where you speak in tonesues
[21:49] and you can be it's uh it is to be
[21:52] understood because um I'm speaking to
[21:56] you. Okay? I was not speaking to you. I
[21:58] was speaking to God. I was praying to
[22:00] God. Now the Bible says to forbid not.
[22:03] Okay? Amen. So praise God. Amen.
[22:08] Hallelujah.
[22:11] Forbid not so uh to speak uh to to let
[22:15] people speak in tongues uh in the
[22:17] church. Okay. Many um who's who believe
[22:22] or that the Holy Spirit really uh does
[22:25] allow people to speak in tongues since
[22:28] they can't deny it's in the Bible. Okay.
[22:30] They always forbid it. All right. Okay.
[22:34] All right. So, we want to move on.
[22:38] All right. And to be a faithful steward
[22:42] of what you've been given. Jesus wasn't
[22:46] telling his followers to seize the
[22:49] throne. He was telling them to be
[22:52] productive servants while the king is
[22:54] away. Jesus is our king. Amen. And so,
[22:58] I'm going to pull up something real
[23:00] quick here online.
[23:02] All right. And uh this is the Google
[23:06] definition of occupy
[23:10] um in the Bible.
[23:13] Okay.
[23:15] In the Bible, occupy generally means to
[23:19] do business, invest
[23:22] or take possession of something. Okay.
[23:26] [snorts] Now, so to do business or to
[23:29] traffic meaning go make disciples.
[23:34] All right. Amen. Invest meaning invest
[23:37] your life, invest your effort, invest
[23:40] your work. Okay? Not so this is not
[23:45] performance-based salvation. Amen. But
[23:49] um and this is not performance in the um
[23:53] in the um understanding of
[23:56] entertainment. Okay? We're not
[23:58] entertaining people. Okay?
[24:04] But what we are doing is we're working
[24:06] for Jesus to um do his will. And what is
[24:11] God's will? He said, "Pray that the Lord
[24:15] would raise up laborers for the harvest,
[24:18] and the harvest is souls." So the world
[24:23] is the field where there are souls that
[24:27] are perishing.
[24:29] Jesus said, "Don't wait for this season.
[24:33] Don't wait for that season, but pray."
[24:36] Amen. because the season is already here
[24:39] and that there are many um souls or that
[24:44] are ripe and they're so ripe that
[24:47] they're falling off the plants and
[24:51] perishing. Okay? But Jesus doesn't want
[24:54] these ripe souls to perish. He He wants
[24:57] enough laborers out there laboring.
[25:01] Amen. in the field of souls, rescuing
[25:05] the perishing, saving people, telling
[25:08] them about Jesus. Amen. Showing them the
[25:11] power of God. And your words is one way
[25:15] to do that by preaching, teaching,
[25:18] witnessing, sharing the gospel. Amen.
[25:22] [laughter]
[25:23] So um and another way is also living the
[25:28] gospel by loving people, visiting the
[25:32] sick, visiting the homeless, feeding the
[25:35] homeless. There's a mosquito flying
[25:37] around here. I hate mosquitoes.
[25:41] [laughter]
[25:43] So praise God.
[25:47] Uh so uh I'm in Ethiopia and there's not
[25:51] a lot of mosquitoes in Addis Sababa, but
[25:54] right here where we're at, uh there's a
[25:56] lot of garden right now. Um this this
[25:59] area is uh has a good keeper and the
[26:03] keeper has planted a lot of different
[26:05] bushes and plants and flowers and grass
[26:09] and uh the mosquitoes love that. So we
[26:12] have to sleep with a mosquito net. So
[26:15] praise God for that.
[26:17] It's a blessing. Yeah. Just uh when we
[26:20] first moved in here, um
[26:23] my my daughter, she had a bunch of spots
[26:25] on her face the first night, man, the
[26:27] mosquitoes got her. And we didn't really
[26:30] know that they were that bad cuz you uh
[26:32] everywhere else we stayed in Adis
[26:34] Sababa, the mosquitoes are not that bad.
[26:37] And no, there's not a malaria issue in
[26:39] Adis Sababa. Uh, so by the grace of God,
[26:42] we went and we found um mosquito nets
[26:46] because believe it or not, it was
[26:48] actually pretty hard to find mosquito
[26:50] nets in uh Ethiopia, but uh praise God,
[26:53] we did find
[26:55] [laughter]
[26:56] and so uh I'm laughing cuz I know what
[27:00] it's like. We got this umbrella style um
[27:04] mosquito net and we popped it up and
[27:07] it's only for the size of a child. So,
[27:10] we got our legs under the blanket and
[27:12] me, my wife, and my daughter in between
[27:14] us and uh this this umbrella um mosquito
[27:19] net laid over top of us. It works. My
[27:22] daughter ain't got no more mosquito
[27:23] bites and me and my wife are doing
[27:25] pretty good.
[27:27] So, praise God. Yeah. So, Amen. So, we
[27:32] need to work the field of souls. This is
[27:34] what Jesus means by occupy.
[27:37] This is um so we're investing time and
[27:41] effort in pleasing God but soul-winning
[27:44] souls um investing the time and effort
[27:47] uh we're studying our Bible we're
[27:50] praying we're again we're building up
[27:52] our most holy faith praying in the Holy
[27:54] Ghost that's investment so that when we
[27:57] go out to witness to people we've been
[28:00] dwelling in the presence of God and now
[28:02] we're carrying that presence to them and
[28:05] we're taking power to them. Amen. Um
[28:10] we're we're we're um we're doing the
[28:14] business of denying oursel and laboring
[28:18] in love to show people the love of God.
[28:21] Amen. Now, this doesn't mean um not
[28:24] telling them, you know, that there's no
[28:27] need to si uh repent that there that uh
[28:30] you know, once you're saved, uh you're
[28:33] always saved and you can now you just um
[28:37] go and live whatever however you want.
[28:39] No. Amen.
[28:42] We we start carrying our brothers and
[28:44] sisters. our brothers and sisters become
[28:47] valuable to us especially once we
[28:50] witness to them and we led them through
[28:52] the sinner's prayer. Amen. And then so
[28:56] um I do believe in the two works of
[28:59] grace. Amen. The grace of salvation that
[29:03] saves you and then the second work of
[29:06] grace. Amen. Where you get filled with
[29:09] the Holy Spirit and become sanctified.
[29:12] Now that that sanctification doesn't put
[29:14] me on a different level than other
[29:17] people. Amen. As I'm teaching and I've
[29:20] been teaching the latter of Jacob is the
[29:25] Old Testament
[29:27] um legalistic
[29:29] dogmatic
[29:31] uh model of spirituality where you grow
[29:35] from level to level to level to level
[29:37] and you get higher and closer to God.
[29:41] Amen.
[29:42] That is not New Testament design. Jesus
[29:45] Christ gave us the new model of the
[29:48] straight and narrow um road. Amen. Now,
[29:53] straight and narrow, it doesn't mean
[29:54] straight like a straight line. Amen.
[29:59] Because
[30:01] um it the the the word is spelled s t r
[30:05] a i t which is straight. Okay. They
[30:08] weren't there wasn't a misspelling, you
[30:11] know, you know, and so um they knew the
[30:15] real word way to spell straight was s t
[30:18] r a i g ht. So they intentionally
[30:22] spelled it s t r a i t. straight meaning
[30:28] like the straight of Hormuz right now is
[30:31] very popular where you know it it comes
[30:35] into is a bigger body of water which is
[30:38] a sea and then uh it's it pinches off
[30:42] into a small body of water and then
[30:45] exits into another larger body of water
[30:48] which is the ocean. Amen. So two large
[30:51] body bodies of water and there's a
[30:53] straight. Now, the straight is powerful.
[30:57] Okay, the uh because the straight does a
[31:01] bunch of different things. It multiplies
[31:03] you. Okay, how does it multiply you?
[31:06] Well, the Bible says that one will put
[31:09] to flight 1,000 and two will put the
[31:13] flight 10,000. So, this person here um
[31:18] should only put the flight 1,000 and
[31:21] this person here should only put the
[31:23] flight 1,000. But no, God doesn't do
[31:27] addition. God does multiplication
[31:31] because it's God's glory and God says
[31:35] two are better than one. That's why um
[31:39] Amen. We want to um the Bible says
[31:42] wherever two or three are gathered in my
[31:45] name, there I am in the midst. Amen.
[31:49] So God is with us cuz we're gathering in
[31:51] his name. Two or three. Amen. Me and my
[31:54] wife. Amen. And and and all of you
[31:57] online that gather with us weekly. Amen.
[32:00] Or day uh monthly. Amen. Uh gather with
[32:04] us as often as we do our services. Amen.
[32:07] Or when you're watching. If you're
[32:09] watching this right now and this is
[32:12] sometime in the future from the day I
[32:14] actually taught it. Amen. It doesn't
[32:17] matter. You're still gathering with us.
[32:19] Amen. If you receive these teachings,
[32:22] Amen. you receive Jesus and and and
[32:26] receive the Holy Ghost, you become
[32:28] strengthened, edified. You can grow and
[32:30] you can know your purpose. Amen. and you
[32:33] can launch out and start doing your
[32:36] ministry by telling people you need to
[32:39] get filled with the Holy Ghost. The
[32:41] second work of God of grace does
[32:45] something supernatural in our lives.
[32:47] It's a lifechanging. I have it. This is
[32:51] when you know God is more than um just
[32:56] words in a book that you can know. This
[32:59] is where you know you know God
[33:01] personally intimately. Amen. Where he
[33:05] delivers you from demons. Where demons
[33:08] have been cast out of you. Where there
[33:10] was powers of desire, powers of lust.
[33:16] Amen. Powers of evil thoughts. Amen.
[33:20] Where they d drive you or drove you to
[33:25] go do evil. your your mind and your
[33:28] heart and your flesh was so affected by
[33:31] the evil inclination. Amen. The fleshly
[33:35] desire to go and sin. Amen. And rebel
[33:40] against God and be disobedient to God
[33:42] and ignore God's conviction and Amen.
[33:46] and ignore God's leading and God's
[33:48] prompting. Amen. Telling you, "Hey, go
[33:51] to church. Hey, go read the Bible. Go
[33:54] find out about Jesus." remember you
[33:57] heard this and that. Amen. And you
[33:59] ignored it and you ignored it and then
[34:01] someone comes and says, "Hey, let me
[34:03] tell you about Jesus." And then when
[34:05] they tell you about Jesus and you
[34:07] believe them and you go to church with
[34:09] them, amen or you pray with them right
[34:12] there. It doesn't matter if you go to
[34:13] church or not, but you could they pray
[34:16] with you the sinner's prayer and you get
[34:18] saved. And then he says, "Look, read
[34:21] your Bible. Continue. seek God cuz you
[34:25] still need the baptism of the Holy
[34:27] Ghost. You'll be sanctified and endued
[34:29] with power. You'll be changed from the
[34:31] inside out. Okay? You're going to need
[34:34] it. Start serving. Go tell somebody
[34:37] about how you got saved today. That you
[34:40] made a decision to follow Jesus. And
[34:42] you're going to notice that now
[34:44] something powerful has happened. That
[34:47] you are now illuminated. When you're
[34:50] illuminated, I'm not talking about the
[34:52] Illuminati.
[34:54] I'm talking about now that you receive
[34:56] Jesus, you're covered in the blood of
[34:58] Jesus and you're officially saved, all
[35:02] of hell and the demons that have been
[35:05] cast out of you, they want you back. And
[35:09] you're going to notice that the things
[35:12] start happening to try to get you mad
[35:16] and angry and upset to start cussing
[35:19] again. Cuz when you get filled with the
[35:21] Holy Spirit, you stop cussing. Amen. The
[35:24] Holy Spirit enters you and gives you a
[35:26] power where I just want I don't want to
[35:28] talk like that no more. I don't want to
[35:30] talk like that no more. Those words
[35:32] offend me. Those words offend my God.
[35:35] Amen. Out of the mouth and the heart and
[35:38] out of the heart, the abundance of the
[35:40] mouth speaks. Amen. I don't want to talk
[35:43] like that cuz I don't want that garbage
[35:45] in my heart. Amen. If I'm tempted to
[35:48] talk like that, I'm praying to God. Oh
[35:50] God, come into my heart because I'm
[35:52] starting to want to talk like that
[35:54] again. Like the the old nature is
[35:56] starting to grow back. Amen. I don't
[35:59] want to regress, God. I want to press
[36:01] forward. Hallelujah. I'm a fired up,
[36:05] zealous Christian, full of the Holy
[36:08] Ghost, full of faith. Amen. Not to boast
[36:11] and and and to glory as if I'm something
[36:14] great, but to tell you, amen, that you
[36:16] can grow and to show you that you can
[36:19] grow. How do you think all the preachers
[36:21] get where they're at? Amen. How do you
[36:24] think the preachers learn? How do you
[36:26] think the preachers grow? You think it's
[36:28] all just Bible college? Do you think
[36:30] it's all just study and intellect and
[36:33] memorization? No, it's not. It's the
[36:37] indwelling of the Holy Spirit. It's a
[36:40] supernatural work. Amen.
[36:43] So, uh this is the the business of the
[36:46] possessing. So, the part where it says
[36:49] possession of something. Okay. Now, of
[36:53] course, this is the part of it that the
[36:56] dominion theologists try to capitalize
[37:00] on. This is the part where they want you
[37:03] to say, "We're going to take possession
[37:05] of this mountain and take possession of
[37:07] this mountain and and this mountain."
[37:10] And the mountains are seven mountains of
[37:13] influence.
[37:15] Um, one of them being media. Amen.
[37:19] One of them being um education, one of
[37:23] them being family, one of them and so
[37:25] they want to take control
[37:28] or possession of and manage every spear
[37:35] sphere of influence in society to where
[37:40] they have total dominion. Amen. and
[37:44] you're forced into the rules of
[37:47] religious dogma. Amen. To obey God. And
[37:52] so God doesn't want that. God doesn't
[37:53] want anybody to be forced
[37:57] to obey God. And that is not what God
[38:00] told us to do. The possession that he
[38:03] wants us to take possession of is our
[38:05] bodies. God has invested into us the
[38:08] Holy Spirit or and the grace
[38:11] um and invested into us when Jesus came
[38:15] down and lived on the earth a holy life
[38:19] and um was sacrificed for it or
[38:22] crucified for it died placed in the
[38:25] grave and he rose again. Amen. This was
[38:29] for our salvation. This is the
[38:31] investment of God. Well, after that
[38:34] there's more. In the book of Acts, we
[38:36] can see that the Holy Spirit was
[38:38] outpoured. Not only in the book of Acts
[38:41] chapter 2, but in the book of Acts
[38:43] chapter 10. Not only in the book of Acts
[38:45] chapter 10, but in different places
[38:47] throughout the book of Acts, the Holy
[38:49] Spirit was poured out to different ones
[38:52] like Apollos and his disciples. Amen.
[38:57] So God [clears throat] and so even in
[39:00] the book of acts chapter 1 it says that
[39:02] the promise of the father which is the
[39:04] holy spirit indwelling empowerment cuz
[39:08] he said go and wait in Jerusalem until
[39:11] you be undued with power for this
[39:14] promises to you and your children and to
[39:17] as many as are aar off the gentiles all
[39:22] over the world. Well, they were not
[39:24] going to reach them all in their day. So
[39:26] that still implies that the power is to
[39:29] us today and to as many as we go and
[39:33] tell them about. You can have the Holy
[39:35] Spirit. You can be filled with the Holy
[39:38] Spirit. You can have a personal
[39:41] interaction and involvement in God's
[39:44] plan, in God's will, in God's glory.
[39:47] That when you pray, it's stronger. When
[39:49] you read your Bible, the spirit of
[39:52] wisdom and truth is teaching it to you.
[39:54] So that even when I'm teaching you,
[39:57] amen. It's not that me I'm doing it as
[39:59] my own work, but you're receiving it
[40:01] because the Holy Spirit is bearing
[40:03] witness with your spirit. Amen. And
[40:06] edifying you, the Holy Spirit. Cuz I'm
[40:09] not commanding you. I'm not doineering
[40:11] you. I'm not trying to be a lord over
[40:14] your faith. But as the Apostle Paul
[40:16] said, I am a helper of your faith. Amen.
[40:20] A helper. I'm a helper of your faith. A
[40:23] servant. This is a service of love.
[40:27] Amen. Hallelujah. For God's glory. And
[40:31] everything. When you get the increase,
[40:33] God gets all the glory for it. Because
[40:35] what God does inside of you, I cannot do
[40:38] my myself. I'm just a human. But the one
[40:42] I serve, his shoe latch, I'm not even
[40:45] worthy. Amen. He outranks me. Amen. He
[40:49] outranks all of us. He outranks the
[40:52] whole world. Amen. He's all powerful.
[40:55] He's almighty. And he can give you the
[40:59] work of grace that changes you and
[41:02] transforms you into a born again new
[41:06] creature. These are not just flowery
[41:08] fluff words. Amen. This is not just nice
[41:12] sayings and poetic things. This is a
[41:15] real power. You should have seen the
[41:17] sinner that I was. I'm glad you didn't.
[41:20] But I tell you about that man every once
[41:22] in a while. That was a bad man. But God
[41:25] has changed me. He's changed my heart.
[41:27] I'm not that man anymore. He's made me a
[41:30] new creature. His holy spirit dwells in
[41:32] me. Amen. His holy spirit has given me
[41:35] exactly what to say right now. Amen. to
[41:39] try to help you know. Amen. Please seek
[41:44] Jesus. Seek God the Father through faith
[41:47] in Jesus for more grace. Humble yourself
[41:52] before the Lord and tell him, "I cannot
[41:54] live this Christian life without his
[41:56] help. Please send the helper to me.
[41:59] Please send the comforter to me. Baptize
[42:02] me in the Holy Spirit. Fill me with the
[42:06] power of God. I want to be endued with
[42:08] power. I want to be changed. I want to
[42:10] live the Christian life. I want to go
[42:12] and be a witness. I WANT TO SERVE GOD. I
[42:15] believe I'm called to be a preacher, but
[42:18] I I want integrity cuz only God can give
[42:21] you a pure heart.
[42:23] Only God can make you holy. Amen. Now,
[42:27] I'm not saying that I'm holier than
[42:29] thou. This is not what I'm preaching.
[42:31] But God has made us. How many people
[42:34] have ever had this thought? I want I
[42:37] know I'm God has called me to preach,
[42:39] but I don't feel holy enough.
[42:42] Okay. See? Okay. Well, God is going to
[42:46] make you holy enough when he gives you
[42:48] the Holy Spirit and then you can't help
[42:51] but to speak. He'll be like um uh
[42:55] Jeremiah soon as you get out of prison
[42:57] cuz you you said I uh I won't speak
[43:01] anymore. And you're just like a shak.
[43:03] You start preaching. You're like, "And
[43:05] thus sayeth the Lord." [laughter] Amen.
[43:09] Because you're so Because the Holy
[43:11] Spirit is in you and he's prompting you.
[43:14] He's urging you. He's driving you.
[43:17] That's how Jesus was driven into the
[43:19] wilderness. Amen.
[43:22] The mosquito. I'm going to get that
[43:24] thing too eventually. I'm pretty good at
[43:27] catching them. Little demons. No, I'm
[43:30] just kidding. [laughter]
[43:32] So
[43:34] Jesus was driven in the wilderness by
[43:36] the Holy Spirit. And the same Holy
[43:38] Spirit that drove him drives you to do
[43:41] what? God's good pleasure. It was God's
[43:44] good pleasure um for Jesus to go do the
[43:48] things that he was doing. Cuz the like I
[43:50] said earlier, he works in us both to
[43:52] will and to do of his good pleasure.
[43:55] That's the driving part. He's working in
[43:57] us. It's a compelling Amen.
[44:02] It's a compulsion. Oh yeah. So, uh, the
[44:05] straight, right? It's two sharp points
[44:08] or that's squeezing off two bodies which
[44:11] causes pressure. It causes the water to
[44:15] flow with current. Okay? And so, um,
[44:19] that's a spiritual straight and the the
[44:22] water is spiritual water cuz you're
[44:24] walking on a straight and narrow. And
[44:26] that spirit is empowering you and
[44:29] strengthening you and compelling you and
[44:32] driving you. It's making you stronger so
[44:35] that you are stronger to overcome the
[44:38] flesh, the fleshly desires, the the
[44:41] desires of the mind that are against
[44:43] God. Amen. the demons that are telling
[44:46] you this and this and this. Amen. So
[44:49] what am I saying? Just like Jonathan,
[44:52] okay, Jonathan and his armorbearer.
[44:56] Amen. They went uh to a straight where
[45:01] it said that there was a sharp point on
[45:03] one side and a sharp point on another
[45:05] side. And they they went into the
[45:08] Philistine um into the Philistines uh
[45:12] enemy lines. They crossed enemy lines.
[45:15] Amen. And they went into a garrison of
[45:18] the Philistines. And and they say it was
[45:21] 20 members, but it could have been more.
[45:23] And the 20 20 members only fought two of
[45:27] them. And those two defeated them. Okay.
[45:32] All right. And so this is the same
[45:34] concept even in um the 300 Spartans who
[45:40] fought
[45:42] um the Persian Empire. Amen. I I can't
[45:46] think of the name of the battle philopy.
[45:50] I can't remember. I I'm butchering it.
[45:53] But the battle
[45:56] um there
[45:58] um and so when they were fight uh the
[46:02] Spartans they defeated uh over a
[46:05] thousand or it was a 100,000
[46:08] uh Persians. They had help but um the
[46:12] straits caused them to defeat a lot of
[46:16] them. They actually died in the battle.
[46:18] They didn't get complete victory but
[46:20] they got they they had um wounded the
[46:24] Persians so much that um the the
[46:26] Persians were defeated in one day. Okay.
[46:29] The the other Greeks, Athen, the
[46:32] Athenians, they uh ended up winning the
[46:34] battle afterwards the rest of the war.
[46:36] But it was the 300 Spartans that
[46:39] withtood so many. And so they were
[46:43] multiplied in their strengths where the
[46:46] thousands of Persians or hundred
[46:48] thousands of Persians were forced into a
[46:51] tight channel called a straight where
[46:55] now they um had to
[47:00] um equally line up and match the 300
[47:04] Spartan failings. Okay. The 300 Spartan
[47:08] failings now could fight. They had to
[47:11] fight row by row by row by row. But
[47:14] they're um but now um these rows um were
[47:20] not wider than them. They could not
[47:21] flank them because the so this brings
[47:24] equality.
[47:25] Amen. It brings um equality in the might
[47:30] or in the many. So the numbers um coming
[47:34] against the 300. This is how Jesus is
[47:37] telling you. One will or the Bible tells
[47:40] you one can put the flight 1,000 but two
[47:44] can put the flight 10,000. Amen. Because
[47:48] this straight and narrow that we're
[47:50] walking in causes such of a
[47:53] multiplication
[47:54] of our strengths that even though it
[47:58] seems like there's a horde of enemies
[48:00] and a horde of demons and a horde of
[48:04] temptations and lust and and all these
[48:07] things coming against us. Amen. We're
[48:10] stronger because even if I'm by myself,
[48:13] the Holy Spirit is with me. But when my
[48:15] wife is with me now, her her holy spirit
[48:19] and her faith and her gifts with me and
[48:22] my holy spirit and my gifts and with you
[48:25] and us and we're all a family. Amen. We
[48:30] are strongers together to fight the
[48:33] enemy and win. This is why when they say
[48:37] that the Christian numbers are dwindling
[48:39] and all this stuff, they don't even know
[48:41] what they're talking about. Okay? Just
[48:44] like Elisha said, you need to be
[48:46] confident in the power of God and
[48:48] confident in the Holy Spirit, knowing
[48:51] that as Elijah said, Elisha,
[48:55] there be more that be with us than that
[48:58] be with them. Amen. It doesn't matter if
[49:02] there's more religions. There's over
[49:04] 30,000 religions and we're just one
[49:07] religion. Amen. Amen. There's more that
[49:10] be with us than that be with them. God
[49:13] will not let our enemies triumph over
[49:15] us. God will not let his church and the
[49:19] gates of hell. Do you know what the
[49:20] gates of hell is? It's um um a different
[49:23] gate um for a different god. And there
[49:27] are so many false gods and false
[49:29] religions and false teachers. Amen.
[49:32] lifting up false gods and and there's so
[49:36] many attracted to that and serving that
[49:38] to where the pagan world looks like they
[49:41] got us outnumbered. No, there's more
[49:44] than be with us. when they surrounded um
[49:48] I think it was Samaria and the king of
[49:50] Samaria with Elisha and the king of
[49:54] Samaria came to Elijah like oh look at
[49:58] all the and he said I pray that God will
[50:01] open your eyes and then when he when he
[50:03] did that he turned and looked up on the
[50:05] hill and there's a thousand fiery
[50:08] chariots of angels there's an angel army
[50:12] this is why we serve the Lord of Sabot
[50:16] Sabot don't mean Sabbath. Okay. Sabot
[50:19] means armies of God. Angel armies of
[50:23] God. God has a host of angels. That's
[50:27] why Jesus said when Peter um cut off the
[50:32] the servant of the high priest's ear,
[50:34] Jesus said, "Don't you think that I
[50:36] cannot now call?" Because Jesus had amen
[50:40] spiritual understanding. He had
[50:42] spiritual eyes. He said, "Even if I
[50:44] wanted to right now, I could call, amen,
[50:48] my father, and he would send those fiery
[50:51] chariots, those angel armies, even 12
[50:54] legions, amen, down to destroy these
[50:56] people right now." Amen. But so that
[50:59] God's will can be done. And uh I am
[51:02] going I uh this is not that time. Put
[51:05] your sword away, touch the high priest's
[51:07] ear, and healed it. Amen. Praise God.
[51:10] Let me look at the time. I know I'm out.
[51:12] I'm out of time. Oh, praise God. I got
[51:16] about 20 minutes left almost. Okay. So,
[51:20] amen. So, Jesus didn't bring a kingdom
[51:23] on earth to where this earthly kingdom
[51:27] is supposed to conquer and take over um
[51:32] in a physical way. Amen. We do get
[51:35] involved in politics. We do vote. We do
[51:37] preach and teach like my preachings and
[51:40] teachings are online. I hope the
[51:42] president of the United States would
[51:44] listen to him. Amen. He don't have to
[51:46] say nothing about Pastor Jesse living
[51:49] God's service. Amen. I don't want that
[51:51] attention. Even if I even if he did,
[51:53] praise God. And if I got that kind of
[51:56] attention, praise God. Amen. But people
[51:59] need to get right with God. And it Amen.
[52:03] So
[52:05] celebrities need to get right with God.
[52:07] Amen. Sin is sin. Amen. Homosexuality is
[52:10] a sin. Amen. And so, no, I'm not going
[52:14] to act like I'm so spiritual giant that
[52:16] I know all the decisions that US needs
[52:18] to make. I do know one thing. The US
[52:20] needs to be friendly with uh um Israel.
[52:25] Amen. Support and uh protect and be a
[52:28] blessing to Israel and God will bless
[52:30] America. Amen. Did you notice this year
[52:33] that the um the hurricane when it came
[52:35] through in the summertime, it went
[52:37] straight up straight up the north.
[52:39] Didn't touch the American coast. Why?
[52:42] Amen. Two years in a row since the
[52:45] president's been supporting and and
[52:48] helping Israel. America didn't get hit
[52:50] with the hurricane on the east coast,
[52:52] man. Well, Florida needs to, you know,
[52:55] Florida needs to keep supporting Israel,
[52:57] too, cuz man, they keep getting hit with
[52:59] the hurricane. But the these last two
[53:01] years, man, the uh hurricane turned up,
[53:03] went north. Why?
[53:06] Because we support Israel. And man, God
[53:09] will bless America with more. God will
[53:11] show God right now this repentance. God
[53:13] is happy with uh President Trump and
[53:17] different ones turning um
[53:21] uh America uh from repenting to from
[53:24] gender ideology confusion and all this
[53:27] stuff. They was destroying and
[53:28] mutilating kids and devaluing women,
[53:32] putting men in women's places, uh,
[53:35] letting men in women's bathrooms and all
[53:38] this just nonsense. Okay? I never never
[53:42] thought I'd see my, uh, country go that
[53:45] far, left, that far, you know, into the
[53:49] gates of hell. But by the grace of God,
[53:52] God turned it around there. I was
[53:54] praying for years, God, make America a
[53:57] Christian nation again. Please uh give
[54:01] us a president that will glorify Jesus.
[54:04] God, please uh have mercy on America and
[54:08] turn America around. Help America to
[54:11] remember its roots and its founding and
[54:14] its founding fathers. If the founding
[54:16] fathers were so bold to glorify God then
[54:19] please uh if you can do it again and I
[54:22] know you can do it again. But I didn't
[54:25] expect it to go this far and it did.
[54:28] Amen. And I'm so happy that it is. I'm
[54:31] glad that God showed me greater and
[54:34] mightier things that I know not because
[54:37] I called on him. Jeremiah 33 and3. Amen.
[54:42] He will show you too. Pray with me. I'm
[54:45] not the only one that was praying like
[54:46] that. I guarantee there are hundreds and
[54:49] thousands who are praying like that. God
[54:51] have mercy on America. It's so bad.
[54:54] Lord, turn it around. Please don't. Cuz
[54:58] we know the wrath of God will come on
[55:00] our nation and the wrath of God will
[55:02] judge our nation and and and
[55:05] God, please cause our nation to repent.
[55:09] Even a superficial revival is better
[55:12] than no revival. Because in the
[55:14] superficial revival, real revival does
[55:17] take place. My my throat's itching.
[55:24] There's a remnant of real revival. And
[55:28] God watches the remnant. And the remnant
[55:30] grows even with the superficial.
[55:34] And so don't count the superficial out.
[55:37] Don't pretend like you know God. All
[55:40] real revival has superficuality in it.
[55:43] You're never going to get a perfect pure
[55:47] re revival according to uh oh my uh this
[55:50] is what a revival really is. There's no
[55:54] superficiality in it. No, you're wrong.
[55:57] There is real there's plenty of
[55:59] superficiality in every single uh
[56:02] revival. All of uh Israel's history,
[56:07] biblically recorded revival,
[56:08] superficiality.
[56:10] All of America, American church history,
[56:13] revival, superficiality.
[56:16] Okay? It was in it. Amen. Even in the
[56:19] biblical, there was some superficiality.
[56:22] Okay? Amen. They had to change. They had
[56:25] to repent. The book of Acts shows us not
[56:29] just uh the good deeds or acts of the
[56:32] apostles. Amen. He shows us the acts of
[56:34] the Holy Spirit and the mistakes of the
[56:37] apostles. Amen. We get to see Paul cuz
[56:40] Paul was not perfect. So our perfection
[56:44] is not
[56:46] um
[56:48] now we have a Christian perfection.
[56:50] Okay, we can become perfect in heart.
[56:52] When you have the Holy Spirit in you,
[56:54] your heart is perfect. Okay, you have
[56:57] been perfected. And you say, "Well, why
[57:00] do I still have temptation and this and
[57:01] this and this?" But you have the Holy
[57:04] Spirit which is perfect dwelling in you
[57:06] and he is able to help you overcome. Do
[57:09] you fall? Bible says a righteous man
[57:11] falls seven times. So what does a
[57:13] righteous man who falls seven times do?
[57:15] He gets back up. Okay? He's trying to
[57:18] overcome this thing. He's trying to win
[57:20] this thing. He's praying. He's asking
[57:22] God for more grace. That's why in James
[57:25] it says we get more grace. God gives
[57:28] more grace. And Peter says it too. More
[57:31] grace to what? The humble. What is the
[57:35] difference? How do you know you're
[57:36] humble? Because you make requests. You
[57:40] ask, you seek, you knock, you don't give
[57:43] up, you persevere. You and you are
[57:47] resilient. Resilient. You persevere.
[57:50] Meaning you don't quit. You don't stop.
[57:52] You win sometimes and sometimes you
[57:54] lose. That's why you need the resilient
[57:56] part. The resilient part is when you
[57:58] lose, you bounce back. Amen. You bounce
[58:03] right back up. You get back up. Okay.
[58:06] And so, like I said, when Jonathan and
[58:09] his armor bearer, they was in a tight
[58:11] place 20 um what? So, there's two of
[58:16] them, right? So how I don't know um in
[58:20] that type of what type of battle style
[58:22] that they fought in whether it was
[58:23] failins or whatever um you know how how
[58:27] they fought with sword and shield and
[58:29] their formation or whatever their
[58:31] strategies that they used right I don't
[58:34] know um but okay
[58:37] or so so I'm not say what I'm saying is
[58:40] I don't know how many two Israelite
[58:43] soldiers of this time and this type of
[58:45] battle style or strategy uh could fight
[58:48] a row of without being flanked. But what
[58:52] it did was this straightfor them whether
[58:56] they fought them in a a rank or a fl of
[59:00] of two or four or or more and it forced
[59:05] the 20. But it whatever it did, it put
[59:09] them in a situation where the two of
[59:12] them could fight um in defeat rank by
[59:16] rank by rank till all 20 of them were
[59:19] defeated. Okay? And so basically the
[59:24] Holy Spirit makes you more than a
[59:26] conqueror. Not conquering nations. More
[59:30] than a conqueror meaning an overcomer.
[59:32] Amen. more than a conqueror. Meaning,
[59:35] you're not conquering. We're the only
[59:38] thing we're conquering is ourself. Amen.
[59:41] Our sins, our lustful desires. We're not
[59:43] going I'm not trying I'm not going to
[59:45] I'm hope that my teachings online
[59:48] influence enough people um to where like
[59:51] peak HF, right? He won't go and try to
[59:56] um demand that the army and people over
[59:59] the age of 30 need to take testosterone.
[01:00:01] Okay,
[01:00:04] this is serious. When you're trusting in
[01:00:06] man's ideologies and Greek philosophies
[01:00:10] and and stoicism and all these different
[01:00:13] things, you're not going to win. Okay?
[01:00:16] You're not going to win. All right? Cuz
[01:00:20] people can get stronger. You know how
[01:00:22] they get stronger? Force the people in
[01:00:24] the army to go work in a warehouse and
[01:00:27] unload 53-footers or 40 foot trailers
[01:00:31] full of frozen meat. They will become
[01:00:34] super strong. Amen. And wrap pallets by
[01:00:38] hand, not with the machine. Okay? Or go
[01:00:41] run with um dragging a parachute. Okay?
[01:00:46] You'll become stronger that way. Amen.
[01:00:49] All right? And just work out.
[01:00:53] All right. [laughter]
[01:00:55] Yes. Enforce the standards, but
[01:00:57] testosterone boosters is not the answer.
[01:01:01] Okay. Testosterone boosters is going to
[01:01:03] cause bone cancer. It's going to cause
[01:01:05] blood cancer. It's going to cause liver
[01:01:08] cancer. And guess what? um when you're
[01:01:11] taking testosterone boosters. Um
[01:01:15] so in the military with these um things
[01:01:18] ailments that come with the results that
[01:01:21] come with testosterone boosters, you
[01:01:24] know, we like the initial veins popping
[01:01:27] out everywhere, muscles, you know,
[01:01:29] ripped and all that, but when you're um
[01:01:34] you can do that naturally, okay? um but
[01:01:38] doing it with testosterone boosters and
[01:01:40] different things. It it's an unnatural
[01:01:43] thing. This is not what God made your
[01:01:45] body um to have, you know, and so
[01:01:50] you're hurting people. You're going to
[01:01:52] hurt people because you're going to
[01:01:53] force them to um take these uh
[01:01:57] testosterone and have an unnaturally
[01:02:00] high level.
[01:02:03] I This is funny because um I seen
[01:02:06] someone online recently. They said um
[01:02:11] they said uh uh oh, as if the army and
[01:02:16] those who live around military bases
[01:02:19] haven't already complained enough that
[01:02:22] uh military um people um weren't
[01:02:26] aggressive enough or sexually um
[01:02:29] inclined enough or attracted enough,
[01:02:32] sexually active enough. And uh so if you
[01:02:35] know anything about military bases or
[01:02:37] you live near one, you know what I'm
[01:02:39] talking about [laughter]
[01:02:41] because there's nothing but strip bars
[01:02:42] and you know clubs and
[01:02:50] soldiers going out on uh off post, going
[01:02:54] to the bars trying to get laid, have sex
[01:02:58] and um
[01:03:01] party, [clears throat] flirt with the
[01:03:02] women
[01:03:04] And uh
[01:03:06] and there's lots of fights and different
[01:03:09] uh violence that goes on because the
[01:03:12] soldiers are aggressive. Now, what how
[01:03:13] do you think if they start giving them
[01:03:15] testosterone boosters, right?
[01:03:20] All right. Praise God. Okay.
[01:03:25] And so um this is what it so when
[01:03:28] Jonathan is armor bearer were going
[01:03:31] through this straight um to fight the um
[01:03:36] 20 garrison uh soldiers of the
[01:03:40] Philistines.
[01:03:43] They were being amplified
[01:03:46] and the 20 were being reduced. And so
[01:03:50] this is what happens in the straight and
[01:03:53] narrow. So what I was going to say was
[01:03:55] Jonathan and his armor bearer were
[01:03:57] walking in faith in the straight and
[01:03:59] narrow. They were attempting great
[01:04:01] things trusting in the power of God. And
[01:04:04] though there was a natural thing there,
[01:04:06] there was a supernatural thing there
[01:04:08] also. And so this natural thing is a
[01:04:12] model or an example of what happens with
[01:04:14] us today too. Amen. I have seen this
[01:04:17] happen. Amen. I didn't fight 20 garrison
[01:04:20] or whatever or sorry my throat is itchy.
[01:04:23] I'm talking too much but praise God.
[01:04:29] Okay. All right. We don't have much time
[01:04:31] left. We need to close 5 minutes.
[01:04:35] And so you are able to win and overcome
[01:04:38] it and find out your purpose, your
[01:04:40] calling, and you're able to do it. You
[01:04:44] are able to get unveiled access to Jesus
[01:04:47] Christ.
[01:04:48] Amen. As I was preaching Sunday, go look
[01:04:52] at 2 Corinthians chapter 3 and verse 18
[01:04:56] and see how we behold God with an
[01:04:59] unveiled face. Amen. And then um we are
[01:05:03] transformed from glory to glory by the
[01:05:07] spirit of God. So there's a there's an
[01:05:09] unveil. There's like we see the glory of
[01:05:12] God. Amen. We see the glory of God in
[01:05:14] our prayer through revelation and
[01:05:16] inspiration. But then in our daily life
[01:05:19] once we go um Jonathan is armor bearer
[01:05:24] we're able to see the glory of God.
[01:05:26] First Jonathan said perhaps God will
[01:05:30] help us. That's his vision. That's his
[01:05:32] inspiration of God. That's his faith. So
[01:05:35] he goes and then what happens? God
[01:05:38] actually does help them and they win.
[01:05:42] Amen.
[01:05:45] Now you see how the faith and the works
[01:05:48] but God gave the increase, right? So
[01:05:50] then who gets the glory for it? God. God
[01:05:54] was the one who caused them to win.
[01:05:57] Even though, you know, there's a
[01:05:59] perfect, you know, physical setup and a
[01:06:01] perfect physical strategy and a reason
[01:06:04] behind it and all this,
[01:06:07] those 20, if it wasn't for the grace of
[01:06:10] God,
[01:06:11] um, and the will of God and Jonathan's
[01:06:15] obedience and faith and their works, the
[01:06:20] willingness to go in readiness to do it
[01:06:23] and attempt it,
[01:06:26] God would never help them. Amen. But God
[01:06:29] did help them. They fought to win and
[01:06:34] they won be. And so, Amen. It wasn't the
[01:06:37] physical. It was God's grace. He was
[01:06:40] giving them more. You think even with,
[01:06:43] you know, this the um not being able to
[01:06:47] be flanked and being matched up um rowby
[01:06:51] row evenly, there's more rows with 20
[01:06:54] people than just two people. These two
[01:06:57] people could not get any rest. Okay,
[01:07:00] with the 300 Spartans rowby row, they
[01:07:03] could drop back and rest and another one
[01:07:06] moves forward, drop back and rest. And
[01:07:08] even though eventually their 300 to
[01:07:11] 100,000 is eventually going to wear out
[01:07:13] even anyways, at least they could rest.
[01:07:16] Okay? But with the two Jonathan and his
[01:07:19] armor bearer, he couldn't rest. There
[01:07:22] was no rest. It was just fight.
[01:07:25] And if we perish, we perish like Esther.
[01:07:28] Amen. But praise God. Amen. God is good.
[01:07:33] And God is good. God helps you answer
[01:07:35] your calling. You can be a preacher. You
[01:07:38] can be a pastor. You can start a house
[01:07:41] church. Whatever God has called you to
[01:07:43] be. You can be an apostle. You can be an
[01:07:45] evangelist. You can be a prophet. You
[01:07:48] can get close to God. If your calling is
[01:07:50] to be a prophet. Now, you don't get to
[01:07:51] choose. You have to find out what God is
[01:07:55] actually calling you to do. Amen. Pray,
[01:07:58] read the Bible, and see what your
[01:08:00] desires are. And then as you start
[01:08:03] working and you start noticing, hey, I
[01:08:05] have a prophetic gift. But you know, all
[01:08:08] the gifts have some prophetic gift, but
[01:08:10] there's a difference. The prophetic gift
[01:08:13] of a prophet is amplified. It's more for
[01:08:17] forthtelling. Amen.
[01:08:20] Okay. But the uh prophetic gift of a
[01:08:23] pastor, he's just saying stuff he
[01:08:26] doesn't know, you know, like I don't
[01:08:28] know what I'm saying. I don't know who
[01:08:30] I'm talking about. But, uh, this is the
[01:08:32] way the Holy Spirit is leading me to say
[01:08:34] this, and it just so happens to be what
[01:08:37] you did last night or what you did last
[01:08:40] month or what you've been praying about
[01:08:43] or what you've been um desiring to know.
[01:08:48] Oh, you're like, whoa, this preacher is
[01:08:51] inspired by God. He just happens to be
[01:08:54] saying he's speaking into my life. I was
[01:08:57] praying about that. I wanted to know
[01:08:59] that. Then, you know, it popped up on my
[01:09:02] screen and he just happens to be saying
[01:09:04] exactly what I need to hear at the right
[01:09:06] moment. I'm inspired. I got a prayer
[01:09:09] meeting tonight. I'm going to go pray.
[01:09:11] Amen. I'm going to thank God for this.
[01:09:13] I'm going to grow. I know what God wants
[01:09:15] me to do now. Amen. That's how you feel
[01:09:19] when someone is really inspired by God
[01:09:21] and their utterance is coming by the
[01:09:23] Holy Ghost. Amen.
[01:09:26] Praise God. And so um the taking
[01:09:31] possession is not what um the taking
[01:09:36] possession of different mountains of
[01:09:38] influence. Now we do want to be
[01:09:41] influencers. Amen. I'm an influencer by
[01:09:44] the grace of God either online but if
[01:09:46] you ever met me in p person trust me
[01:09:49] I'll be trying to influence you.
[01:09:52] I'm going to find a way to turn this
[01:09:54] conversation around. I might sit and
[01:09:57] talk about different things and you know
[01:10:00] um you might think oh man you know he's
[01:10:02] kind of carnal or whatever but I'm
[01:10:04] waiting for the right moment you know
[01:10:06] when the spirit leads me and the door
[01:10:08] opens and then bam we're talking about
[01:10:10] God the gospel is being preached I'm
[01:10:12] telling you about the Holy Ghost amen
[01:10:14] the Holy Ghost is real I'm telling you
[01:10:16] my testimony when I got saved and how I
[01:10:20] know that it's not just dos and don'ts.
[01:10:23] Amen. I thank God for the dos and don'ts
[01:10:25] because the dos and don'ts re uh made me
[01:10:28] feel guilty of my sin. And then that
[01:10:30] pray that pushed me or drove me to seek
[01:10:33] God for salvation. And then when I heard
[01:10:36] about the Holy Spirit baptism, I got to
[01:10:39] seek God for the Holy Spirit baptism.
[01:10:41] And when I got the Holy Spirit baptism,
[01:10:43] I was forever changed. I was I got a
[01:10:47] different enlightenment or an
[01:10:49] understanding. And it wasn't I didn't
[01:10:51] ride blindfolded on a goat in a dark
[01:10:54] room uh with a bunch of people doing
[01:10:56] weird things to me. No, that wasn't it,
[01:10:59] you know, to to to test my loyalty.
[01:11:02] That's not it. I didn't enter into a
[01:11:05] second tier of authority. Um
[01:11:09] uh because some man gave it to me
[01:11:11] because I accomplished some test.
[01:11:14] Whatever I did, whatever it was that God
[01:11:17] seen in me and he desired to give me
[01:11:19] more grace, he gave me that grace. Amen.
[01:11:22] And our authority comes from Christ. My
[01:11:25] authority is not to exize authority over
[01:11:28] you. The authority is that I am who I am
[01:11:32] and I do not need anybody to tell me
[01:11:34] this is who I am. And the same thing
[01:11:36] with you. You receive authority to be
[01:11:39] who God has called you to be. You
[01:11:42] receive authority to stand on I am what
[01:11:45] I am by the grace of God. Amen. I don't
[01:11:48] have no mediator standing between me. I
[01:11:51] don't need a letter or a credential of
[01:11:54] ordination or a good standing letter to
[01:11:57] say this is why I'm allowed to do what
[01:11:59] I'm doing. No. See the authority allowed
[01:12:03] to do. Okay. I'm allowed to do. I have
[01:12:06] got the authority and the approval of
[01:12:08] God to do what I'm doing. Amen. And so
[01:12:11] do you. Amen. If you've received it, and
[01:12:13] if you haven't, I pray that you receive
[01:12:15] it right now in the mighty name of Jesus
[01:12:18] Christ. And we're going to close
[01:12:21] right now. We're going to close and I'm
[01:12:24] going to pray. Father, I pray I've said
[01:12:27] everything that I could say about this.
[01:12:30] And I ask you, Lord, to please give them
[01:12:33] understanding, be glorified, do the part
[01:12:37] that I cannot do. Help them to truly
[01:12:40] understand and know what the Lord is
[01:12:43] saying through Zachcharias the prophet
[01:12:45] in chapter 4 and verse 6. He has not by
[01:12:50] might nor by power but by my spirit
[01:12:56] saeth the Lord of hosts. [snorts]
[01:13:00] Oh great mountain,
[01:13:03] thou shalt who art thou before
[01:13:05] Zerubbabel in verse 7
[01:13:10] until King Zerubabal
[01:13:13] thou shalt be a plain these mountains
[01:13:16] will come down. We're not trying to
[01:13:18] possess mountains of influence. the
[01:13:21] world's influence and the world's powers
[01:13:23] and the mountains,
[01:13:25] those mountains, I have a mustard seed
[01:13:28] of faith. And those mountains will be a
[01:13:30] plane. Amen. They're not hindering us.
[01:13:34] They're not stopping us. They're not
[01:13:36] surmounted above us. They're not
[01:13:38] surmounted against us. The gates of
[01:13:41] hell, the gates of hells was in a
[01:13:43] mountains in Jerusalem.
[01:13:47] And in those mountains, Amen. the gates
[01:13:49] of hell where the high places of the
[01:13:52] false gods and all their pagan idolatry
[01:13:56] and their pagan followers. Amen. They
[01:14:00] are nothing to one man. He was the king
[01:14:03] of Israel. God has made you a king and a
[01:14:07] priest. You a queen and a priest. Esther
[01:14:11] brought down the Persian Empire. Amen.
[01:14:15] Because of her faith. And you Esther out
[01:14:18] there, you Hannah out there, you Mary
[01:14:21] Magdalene, Amen. Mary Bethany, Mary the
[01:14:24] mother of Jesus, hallelujah, out there,
[01:14:28] you normal ordinary people with faith
[01:14:31] just like them cuz they were just
[01:14:33] ordinary people. They're not
[01:14:35] superheroes.
[01:14:37] Amen. But because of their faith,
[01:14:39] Jonathan, Jonathan, David, Amen. These
[01:14:43] were not elite um people, noble people.
[01:14:48] They were. But the reason why they
[01:14:51] became that way was by the power of God.
[01:14:54] And guess what? They didn't wait until
[01:14:56] they had became noble to do and serve
[01:15:00] God. And so do you. You don't have to
[01:15:02] wait till you become uh elite
[01:15:05] theologian. You don't need to wait till
[01:15:07] you become,
[01:15:09] you know, bachelor degree, master
[01:15:11] degree, theologian, divinity degree,
[01:15:13] theologian. You don't need to wait till
[01:15:16] you become pastor so and so. But start
[01:15:19] right now. Hallelujah. I pray, Father,
[01:15:22] right now that they will receive their
[01:15:24] calling and know what their calling is
[01:15:25] and that they would um Amen.
[01:15:28] [clears throat]
[01:15:29] start right now. Amen. Cuz not many
[01:15:33] noble are called. Not many wise are
[01:15:35] called, but Lord, you've chosen ordinary
[01:15:39] people. You empower ordinary people. You
[01:15:41] send ordinary people into the great
[01:15:44] commission and labor of the field of
[01:15:47] souls to rescue the perishing
[01:15:49] [clears throat] and save the dying and
[01:15:52] help the homeless and help the weak and
[01:15:55] help the sick and visit them in their
[01:15:58] affliction and KEEP YOURSELF UNSPOTTED.
[01:16:01] THE DEVIL AND THE WORLD. WE'RE REACHING
[01:16:04] out to them and they're they're um they
[01:16:07] can't affect us. We're not afraid like
[01:16:10] the Pharisees and the religious elites
[01:16:12] to be affected. We're not cuz we're not
[01:16:15] going to be affected. My Holy Ghost is
[01:16:18] keeping me. I'm sealed by the Holy
[01:16:20] Ghost. I'm protected by the Holy Ghost.
[01:16:23] I'm protected by God's army. I am not
[01:16:26] going to lose my salvation. I'm not
[01:16:29] going to lose my faith. I'm not going to
[01:16:31] lose uh any ground in God. No, I'm
[01:16:35] gaining down. I'm pressing toward the
[01:16:37] mark. I'm running my race. I'm winning.
[01:16:41] I'm overcoming by faith. There's more
[01:16:44] that be for me than against me. And if
[01:16:47] God be for me, who can be against me?
[01:16:50] God is for you. And I hope that they
[01:16:52] would know that you would give them the
[01:16:54] revelation that by the blood of Jesus
[01:16:56] and the covenant of the new uh testament
[01:17:00] and Jesus Christ uh uh that they have
[01:17:03] the favor of God, they have the love of
[01:17:06] God that they can behold like John said
[01:17:09] that the what manner of love that God
[01:17:12] has bestowed upon us. Uh he's bestow
[01:17:15] love. He's invested love into you so
[01:17:18] that the love can flow out of you. He
[01:17:21] said rivers OF LIVING WATER SHALL FLOW
[01:17:24] from your BELLY
[01:17:28] that they would know that they've been
[01:17:30] given authority by God. They don't need
[01:17:33] the approval of man. They got working in
[01:17:36] their calling and doing God's will and
[01:17:38] God's pleasure by the Holy Ghost. In the
[01:17:42] mighty name of Jesus, I pray. Lord,
[01:17:45] cause them to do exploits like Daniel.
[01:17:48] In Jesus mighty name,
[01:17:51] I pray all these things be blessed. Be
[01:17:55] blessed. Be blessed in Jesus' name. God
[01:17:58] will keep you. God will strengthen you.
[01:18:01] God will lead you. His favor and his
[01:18:04] face will shine upon you and
[01:18:07] [clears throat] you will be blessed. You
[01:18:09] are blessed in Jesus' name.
[01:18:14] And let all those that love the Lord
[01:18:18] say in Jesus name, amen. Amen.
